Publisher's Summary
Polgara is the epic culmination of a magnificent saga, and a fitting farewell to a world which, once experienced, will never be forgotten.
She soars above a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has fought wars, plotted palace coups, and worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles.
Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see again for centuries, Polgara begins life in her Uncle Beldin's tower, and in the prehistorical, magical Tree that stands in the middle of the Vale. There, she first learns the reaches of her powers. There she assumes the bird shapes that will serve her on her adventures. And there she starts on the path toward her destiny as Duchess of Erat, shepherdess of the cause of good, adversary of Torak the One-Eyed Dragon God, and guardian of the world's last, best hope: the heir to the Rivan throne.
Here is the legendary life story of a woman of wit, passion, and complex emotions, a woman born of two majestic parents who could not have been more unlike one another. Ordained to make peace and make war, to gain love and lose love, Polgara lives out her family's rich prophecy in the ceaseless struggle between the Light and the Dark.

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor. Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.

Six years had passed since the redoubtable knight Sparhawk had triumphed over the evil God Azash and returned to Elenia with Queen Ehlana, his bride. And now a new danger had arisen to threaten the peace of Ehlana's realm. The trouble had started quietly. At home, bandits began to plague the hill country. In neighboring Lamorkand, the customary political unrest turned ominous with whispers that the bloody heroes of old soon would rise again.

Story5 out of 5 stars 9
The Wasteland is a barren and hideous wilderness ruled by the Vlagh - a godlike creature whose young are evil spawn. Now, as the elder gods are about to transfer their power to the younger gods, the Vlagh plans to take advantage of their weakened state and neutralize them, eventually conquering the world. To do so, it is breeding a terrible force borne of monsters and demons. But one ray of hope shines through the darkness: four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history...and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

Good, but....
The pronunciation throughout the story drove me nuts. Otherwise I love the book. I wish the narrator from the main storyline had collaborated on all the books with this narrator. Also wish this narrator had worked on the pronunciation.

Familiar Favorite
I have been reading this book for 20 years and was really nervous about the voice actor. She's actually very good, and, apart from the voice of Ce'Nedra, I had no issues at all with her realization of these characters! I highly recommended it

Awful Characterization
I love this story. It's my favourite by the authors. The only reason I didn't quit it the first two chapters. When Dina Perlman is just reading, her voice is wonderful. Rich and a pleasure to listen to. Unfortunately, all the women she characterizes sound like shrill shrews. All of them. All the time. And they way she portrays the men isn't much better. I will never listen to another audio book Ms Pearlman is "performing"

Disappointing. Too many mispronunciations.
The narrator is ok, but she makes so many mispronunciations that it takes you right out of the story. It seems like laziness, as she only needed to do a little research and most things could have been properly pronounced. Also she makes the other female characters (other than Polgara) sound like harridans. Quite disappointing as it’s a great story, but the constant ignorant, mispronunciations are infuriating.
